Pros

Top shelf client list with multinational infrastructure pushing digital business transformation before the term was coined. Tremendous growth amongst a talented group, the work is current, and innovative.

Cons

Once the acquisition was complete, the transition was underway. Shuffling management and business verticals fit the holding company approach to efficiency at scale. It did however create separation from the people you interact with in real life, every day. You could sit next to someone new everyday, and never touch the same work. The appeal of a global delivery team sounds impressive, but isn't as satisfying when you enjoy building a relationship amongst your team, preferably under one roof. Pressure cooker for deadlines, resource up and expect that to solve the scope challenges.

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
